Emma Heming Willis is celebrating her 50th birthday.
Heming Willis, the wife of Bruce Willis, shared thoughtful remarks on turning 50 to her Instagram on Thursday, June 18, along with a funny undated video of Bruce, 71, singing “Happy Birthday” after inhaling helium from a balloon.
“Today is my big 5-0. 🎈And I have to say, I’m ready for this new decade and all it has to offer,” Emma, who has been married to Bruce since 2009, wrote in a caption to her post. “My 40s were heavy, yet I’m proud of how far I’ve come as a wife, mom, care partner, and advocate. I’m also proud of the work we’re doing through the Emma & Bruce Willis Fund and what lies ahead.”
Alongside the video of Bruce singing a funny rendition of “Happy Birthday” to the delight of the couple’s daughters two daughters Mabel, 14, and Evelyn, 12, Emma also shared a photo of herself and Bruce wearing birthday party hats. Emma has taken on a caregiver role for Bruce in the last four years after he was diagnosed with aphasia and stepped away from acting in 2022 and received a frontotemporal dementia (FTD) diagnosis the following year.
“Together, we’re raising awareness of FTD, supporting caregivers, and advancing education and research. As I step into this next chapter, my birthday wish is for a future where families facing dementia have more support, resources, less stigma, and every reason to hold onto hope,” Emma added in her caption. “If you’d like to celebrate this milestone with me, please consider supporting the Fund. Link in bio 💙”
Emma and Bruce’s fund for FTD awareness and research describes itself as “a grant-making organization” that works to raise awareness “through education and advocacy,” and “by providing resources, practical tools and opportunities for respite” for caregivers and families affected by the disease.
Bruce and Emma met in 2007 and married in Turks and Caicos in 2009. Bruce also shares daughters Rumer, 37, Scout, 34, and Tallulah, 32, with ex-wife Demi Moore.
“You are so strong I love you so much,” Tallulah wrote in a comment on Emma’s post. “🥹🥹 we love you em…. this is such a great video of him,” Rumer added in her own comment.
Moore, 63, also shared two photos to Instagram of herself wearing a hat and touting items from Emma’s wellness brand Make Time in celebration of her birthday as well. “Making time to celebrate @emmahemingwillis today on her birthday!” Moore wrote in a caption to her post. “Congrats on launching @maketimewellness at @target 🧠🎯 So proud of you and proud to call you family. You are so loved!”
